WORTH FIGHTING FOR
Contest Over the Distribution of the

SAN FRANCISCO, September 5th-[Special. =
The estate of the late Thomas Fallon which is
valued at considerably more than $500, ,OOO is
not, it appears, destined to be distributed with
out considerable of a contest by the heirs One
OF these, named Frederick A. Fallon, filed his
contest yesterday against the accounting of the
administrators on the ground that Nathaniel J.
Britain. the co-administrator, is not joined. He
also denies that he received an allowance of
$500 from the estate, or any allowance of SI0O
month. Isabella Britain, daughter and an
other of the heirs, has taken similar steps
She claims that she is entitled to one
fifth of all the property, and that the
administrator and heir, William Fallon. has
not accounted for $4,000 received from his
father in June, 1885, and at a time when de-
ceased was of unsound mind, nor for 5000 re-
ceived on the same day by Alfred Fallon nor of
$4,000 received by Annie Malone, a daughter
some years previous to his death. Mrs. Britain
desires to have the said amounts treated as ad.
vances made to the three persons named by de-
ceased out of his estate, while as regards Fred
erick A, she declares that he is entitled to the
family allowance for his support, and that in
the distribution he should receive his one fifth
share, without any deduction for money SO ad-
vanced by his guardian.

The Supreme Court holds, however that as
